New Charge Pumping Current #Model Assuming Exponential Tails in the Trap Energy Distribution. This modified expression leads to a different method of extracting the trap emission time constant https://t.co/LUtOI11Och

Abstract: In this paper, we present the effect of different
sub-mm and mm-wave probe geometry and topology on the
measurement results of dedicated test-structures calibrated with
on-wafer TRL. These results are compared against 3D EM
simulation of the intrinsic test-structures. To analyze difference
between the measured and intrinsic EM simulation results, onwafer
TRL calibration performed on EM simulation results of a
dedicated test-structure is also presented.

The
duration of the grant will be for three years. The monthly salary will
be about 1000 Euro/month, which is more than enough to live in Tarragona. The position will start between January and April 2019.

The
candidate should have a Bachelor or Master degree in Electrical
Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering or
Physics. A good background in Semiconductor Physics, Semiconductor
Devices, or Integrated Circuit Design will be highly appreciated.

The
work to be done by the candidate will be focused on the development of
new techniques of characterization and modeling of novel advanced
semiconductor devices, in particular nanoscale MOSFETs under cryogenic conditions for Quantum Computing.This work will be carried out in collaboration with a research team in IMEC in Leuven (Belgium).

The NEPHOS group at URV is one of the most powerful teams in Europe in the area of compact modeling of semiconductor devices.

Tarragona
is a medium city (100000 inhabitants) with a Mediterranean climate and
many recreation opportunities (nice beaches, theme parks, nature
preserves, mountain hiking, touristic resorts and facilities). It is
located 100 km Southwest of Barcelona, and it is very well connected by
train, bus, highways and even low cost flights from its own airport.

The MOS-AK Compact Modeling Association, a global compact/SPICE modeling and Verilog-A standardization forum, held its 16th MOS-AK Workshop in the timeframe of ESSDERC/ESSCIRC. The event was hosted on September 3rd, 2018, by the TU Dresden in Dresden, Germany. The technical program of the event was coordinated by the MOS-AK TPC Committee. The workshop has received technical program promotion provided by ASCENT Network, Europractice, EPFL EDlab, IJHSES as well as NEEDS of nanoHUB.org

The MOS-AK workshop was opened by Wladek Grabinski, who has welcomed all the attendees. A group of 30+ international academic researchers and modeling engineers attended 10 technical compact modeling presentations covering full development chain from the nanoscaled technologies thru semiconductor devices modeling to advanced IC design support.

The MOS-AK speakers have shared their latest perspectives on compact/SPICE modeling and Verilog-A standardization in the dynamically evolving semiconductor industry and academic R&D. The event featured advanced technical presentations covering compact model development, implementation, deployment and all the presentations are available online for download at http://www.mos-ak.org/dresden_2018/.

Afterward all the participants could follow ESSDERC Track4 "Compact modeling of devices and circuit" on Sept. 5-6, 2018

MOS-AK, an international compact modeling association primarily focused in Europe, to enable international compact modeling R&D exchange in the North/Latin Americas, EMEA and Asia/Pacific Regions. The MOS-AK Modeling Working Group plays a central role in developing a common information exchange system among foundries, CAD vendors, IC designers and model developers by contributing and promoting different elements of compact/SPICE modeling and its Verilog-A standardization and related CAD/EDA tools including FOSS for the compact/SPICE models development, validation/implementation and distribution.
